What can you do with an empty container?

What can you do with an empty container? The Web site Dezeen and the Design Association of Japan recently sponsored a competition for firms to make custom installations inside containers.
   The winning design by MAT and Elastik sounds even more depressing than the current shipping market. It’s an installation created to listen to Gustav Mahler’s song cycle Kindertotenlieden — Songs on the Death of Children. But it looks, and by all accounts sounds, spectacular.
